Move over Prince Charming
By Theresa Hennis
Staff Writer
In uncertain times, we look for something
or someone to believe in. London author
Pamela Causey Stanforth’s new book,
“The Princess of Waterfall Castle,” shines
the spotlight on a heroine whose belief in
God gives her the strength to stand up for
herself, her family, and her kingdom as she
battles adversity in many forms.
Stanforth’s book was written before the
coronavirus (COVID-19) became a threat.
“The book’s release is timely for today because
we face the unknowns of a deadly
virus, just as my characters face a pandemic
of their own, with people dying from a
strange fever,” Stanforth said. “It shows
that there's hope in spite of the fearful
things we face. We, like the main character,
Angeletta, have to keep our hearts focused
and find joy in the little things.”
Stanforth’s desire to write stories for her
granddaughters inspired the book. Their
love for everything princess gave Stanforth
the idea to write about a young princess who
depends on God, unlike princess stories that
depend on fairy godmothers or charming
princes to save the day. Stanforth wanted to
create a strong female role model, and her
heroine saves the prince, instead of the
other way around.
A keynote inspirational and motivational
speaker, fine artist, feature writer and storyteller,
Stanforth is originally from Natchitoches,
La. She comes from a line of strong
women, so writing about strong women
came naturally to her.
“I can move better and sleep better. I am in
a much better mood. I can do more with my
family and I’m actually looking forward to
the summer so I can work in my yard. I’m
looking forward to retirement now!” R.H.

New author Pamela Causey Stanforth of London poses with her
newly released book, “The Princess of Waterfall Castle.” The book
was inspired by her granddaughters’ love of all things princess.
The story showcases strong female characters who rise above
adversity to ultimately save the day without the help of a prince.
“The women in my family live up to the name ‘steel magnolias’,”
Stanforth said. “Four strong female characters in my book face adversity,
and they still rise above it. The heroine’s mother in the
book, Yalissa, resembles my grandmother, a medicine woman for
our community who worked in cotton fields, cut cross ties for the
railroad, picked pecans, and worked her own land while raising
nine children after losing her husband.”
After hearing and writing the stories of many strong women in
Ohio for a local publication, Stanforth, a “steel magnolia” in her
own right, coined the name “graphene carnations” to describe the
women she met. Graphene is made up of carbon atoms arranged in
a honeycomb lattice pattern and is 200 times stronger than steel.
“The Ohio state flower is the red carnation, and when I say an
Ohio woman is a graphene carnation, I’m saying she is 200 times
stronger than steel,” Stanforth said.
The message in “The Princess of Waterfall Castle” centers on humankind’s
ability to rise above seemingly hopeless circumstances.
